Try scanning for spyware and viruses. Then if the problem persists, I recommend reinstalling Internet Explorer.

How about trying Firefox instead of IE? Firefox is so much better anyway.

Turn off your capslock.
Post some more info on what protection apps you have tried..."a bunch of the free ones" does not tell us much...

Turn off your capslock.

I don't know, it could be the contagious "capslock" virus, that forces capslock to be enabled, and disables the shift keys.

If you can, try CCleaner, it has a registry cleaner that is absolutely amazing. I had many registry errors that nearly destroyed my computer and CCleaner cleaned it all up
